Ancient Tuscany in a bottle – autochthone Pugnitello – elegance in every sip!
Discover the quiet charm of Meleta’s Pugnolo, a rare gem from the heart of Tuscany. This distinctive red wine showcases the ancient pugnitello grape, lovingly revived to reveal its full character and potential. With a full body and silky structure, it offers an elegant mouthfeel that’s both smooth and approachable. Soft tannins make this wine a graceful companion at the table, allowing its subtle notes of ripe plums and cherry, dried herbs, and a hint of earthy spice to shine through. A gentle touch of oak adds complexity without overpowering the wine’s natural character.
Ideal for those who appreciate a refined red without the bold bite, our Pugnolo pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, poultry or pecorino cheeses.
